Watching the group of people stagger away from the village committee carrying three wild boars, Yang Dazhuang immediately discussed it with the village accountant and secretary. Soon, a group of people, including the elderly living alone, bachelors, and villagers over fifty years old, left Kaoshantun in high spirits.

"I can't go on anymore, Director Zhang, let's rest for a while."

Less than a kilometer from Kaoshantun, Wang Fu felt a pain in his shoulders and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He panted and said something to Zhang Cuihua in front of him before sitting down on the ground.

"Comrade Wang Fu, you must have the revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue. How can you be intimidated by this little difficulty? Comrades, let's work harder. We need to have a fearless spirit to overcome difficulties."

That being said, it was clear from Zhang Cuihua's slightly trembling legs that she was putting on a brave face at this moment.

Seeing that Zhang Cuihua showed no sign of stopping, Wang Fu and the others had no choice but to stand up, carry the wild boar, and continue forward.

Wang Fu felt the wild boar getting heavier and heavier, and soon his shoulders couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to switch shoulders back and forth.

The reason these people were gathered together by Wang Fu was because they thought that after joining the Revolutionary Committee, they would no longer have to work in the fields. Who knew that carrying wild boars would be even more tiring than working in the fields? They would definitely eat some wild boar meat to replenish their strength when they got back.

Two hours passed quietly, and the procession carrying the pig hadn't even covered half the distance.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't. My legs are about to break. Director Zhang, I need to rest, or I'll be exhausted."

This time, Wang Fu refused to move and fell straight to the ground.

The others weren't in much better shape, lying sprawled haphazardly by the roadside.

"Director Zhang, if it really comes down to it, we'll notify the township and have them send a truck to take the pigs away. We're just too exhausted."

"No, it will take at least several hours to go back and forth. Are we going to wait here until nightfall?"

"What should we do then? We should have left the wild boar at the village committee and notified the township so they could send someone to take it away tomorrow."

"Now you're saying all this? Why didn't you say that you'd be watching tonight at the village committee?"

Just as they were blaming and complaining to each other, a burst of laughter came from behind. Looking up, they saw twenty or thirty people walking briskly from a distance.

"Uncle Mancang, Uncle Genzhu, what brings you here? Did Village Chief Yang send you to help us?"

Upon seeing these people, Yang Erwai felt as if he were seeing family, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"Bullshit! We're going to the countryside to participate in the revolution. We want to make progress, and we want to say no to capitalism."

To everyone's surprise, when the group got closer, not a single person stepped forward to help; they all just stood there watching them with smiles on their faces.

“You…you guys are simply…I know, you must be resentful and want to see us make a fool of ourselves. Let me tell you, we revolutionaries are not afraid of difficulties or hardships, and we will never let you laugh at us. Comrade Wang Fu, get up! Let’s carry the wild boar to the village in one go!”

To be fair, this woman wasn't stupid. She quickly understood what these people meant, gritted her teeth, stood up, and, fueled by anger, lifted the wild boar up in one go, even feeling that her steps were much lighter than before.

After traveling and stopping frequently, they finally arrived in the village at dusk.

"Is Director Xiao here? We are all villagers from Kaoshantun. Our village has hunted a few wild boars. We know that wild boars belong to the collective property, so we brought them to the township. We want to hand them over. We want to make progress."

Just as they arrived at the gate of the township revolutionary committee, the twenty-odd people from Kaoshantun swarmed forward and rushed into the courtyard, leaving Zhang Cuihua and Wang Fu far behind.

Xiao Changfu, who rose to the position of director of the township revolutionary committee by whistleblowing and persecuting others, was preparing materials in his office when he heard a commotion outside. He hurriedly pushed open the office door and went out.

"I am very pleased that you all have such awareness. I welcome everyone to actively and enthusiastically join our revolutionary ranks. Our aim is to promote revolution and production, and say no to capitalism..."

Xiao Changfu was surprised that the people of Kaoshantun had such awareness, and at the same time, he affirmed Zhang Cuihua's work.

At this moment, Zhang Cuihua and the others finally arrived, panting heavily.

She heard every word Yang Mancang and Yang Genzhu said. Although she wanted to refute them, she was too weak to even speak.

Upon seeing the three large wild boars, Xiao Changfu's eyes lit up. In a few days, superiors would be coming to inspect the work, and he was worried about not being able to find good food to entertain the leaders. He couldn't let the leaders eat sorghum flour, cornmeal, and steamed buns, could he? With these three large wild boars, he could definitely put on a pig-slaughtering feast, and then the leaders could take some back for their families to taste the wild game.

"Comrades, you've worked hard. Comrade Zhang Cuihua, I am very satisfied with your performance, especially under your leadership, the villagers of Kaoshantun have enthusiastically participated in the revolution and fought against capitalism..."

Xiao Changfu praised Zhao Cuihua lavishly.

"Comrades, you haven't eaten yet, have you? The canteen has just cooked some food. You can go there and get something to eat. If you don't have meal tickets, you can come here and get one for one meal."

Comrades have brought wild boars from so far away, we can't let them go hungry, can we? Xiao Changfu was in a good mood today, and with a wave of his hand, he announced that he would pay for tonight's expenses.

Having not had a full meal in the village for many days, the group was happier than if it were Chinese New Year when they received free food. After a long day of hard work, Wang Fu and the others couldn't even squeeze through the window. When they finally reached the window, all that was left was some vegetable soup and a few dry cornbread buns.

After they had eaten their fill, Yang Mancang led the group to find Xiao Changfu.

"Director Xiao, before we came here, Director Zhao said that these wild boars belong to the collective and cannot be kept in our village. They must be handed over to the public. He also said that the last few wild boars, pheasants and rabbits were handled in the same way."

what!

Last time, Zhang Cuihua handed over two wild boars and two wild rabbits, so how come they said there were several?

Xiao Changfu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Comrade, you just mentioned the last time. When was that? Could you please give me more details?"

"Just a few days ago, about half a month or twenty days ago, the village hunters killed four wild boars, seven or eight rabbits, and about ten pheasants in the forest. The village originally planned to distribute them to the villagers, but then Director Zhang said that these were collective property and the village had no right to privately divide the collective property. So the village handed those things over."

Well, your brother Zhang Cuihua, you actually tried to outsmart me! I trusted you so much!

"Ah! You mean that day? I know. Comrade Zhang Cuihua did hand over the game. The hunters in your village are very skilled. They caught a wild boar so quickly."

Without showing any anger, Xiao Changfu chatted idly with Yang Mancang and the others with a smile.

"Of course. Take this time for example, more than a dozen wild boars broke into the village. The situation was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Su shot and killed the king of the wild boars with a bow and arrow, which drove the wild boars out of the village..."

"I didn't expect the hunter you mentioned to be so young. It's true that heroes emerge from among the young, and he also has such awareness. Xiao Su is a really good comrade."

Even until the very end, Xiao Changfu did not allow Yang Mancang and the others to participate in dealing with the wild boars.

……

The next day, after everyone returned to the village, Yang Mancang and Yang Genzhu went to the village committee and told Yang Dazhuang what had happened.

"Second Master, Fifth Master, thank you so much for your help this time."

"Dazhuang, what are you saying? What do you mean by trouble or not trouble? If you need to call me again in the future, do not do this again."

"Village Chief Yang, Village Chief Yang, please be the judge! Are we still people of Kaoshantun? Why weren't we included when the pork was distributed?"

A commotion arose outside. Yang Dazhuang and Accountant Yang exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Oh well! Trouble has come knocking."
